Our Global Safety Principles

We have launched a set of ten Global Safety Principles. These were developed as a result of a review of the findings from investigations of fatal accidents, major injuries and high potential incidents across the business.

These Global Safety Principles apply to:

All Balfour Beatty employees

Employees of affiliated joint venture companies where Balfour Beatty has a controlling interest or has the agreement of our joint venture partner to employ these Global Safety Principles

Subcontractor/supplier personnel working on locations controlled by Balfour Beatty and to visitors to locations controlled by Balfour Beatty.

Our business units must strive towards reaching the intent of the principles in all situations. When circumstances are such that a task cannot be performed without violating the intent of a principle, no Balfour Beatty employee should start or continue with the task.
